Despite announcing new rounds of rebel aid every week or two, the US State Department hasn’t actually delivered the bulk of it to Syria’s rebel forces, and is withholding the $63 million pledged to the Syrian National Coalition (SNC).
US officials are citing the increasing “disarray” in the rebel leadership, particularly in the SNC, which saw its president resign in March and has been unable to settle on a new leader since.
Officials say this wasn’t “the plan” but that they are now looking for “more credible partners” for backing the rebel side in the Syrian Civil War, and imposing regime change in the nation.
At the core of this growing frustration is the US effort to put together some sort of peace conference in Geneva, apparently aiming to show Assad’s unwillingness to negotiate. Instead, Assad has agreed to join the talks, and the rebels have refused, forcing the US to back off the pretense of trying to reach a settlement and publicly concede that their priority is to impose regime change however they can get it.
Its about time.., the question is what took them so long to find out about having a friend or a foe.., or a crocodile Tera's waiting for the moon to shine to bit.., you see crocodile have a very poor seen.
Good. Now give the money to Assad so he can once and for all defeat the crazy terrorist killers and bring peace back to Syria.
Hahahhaa…yeah, tell the budget office McCain found a couple of real swell guys you can give American tax dollars too…heheh I think you can buy a hostage if you'd like! real sweet guys.
The US is "On the Road to Abilene" re Syria. Obama, Kerry and the entire beltway establishment has said Assad must go. There is no way for them to climb down from that.
Just like the the old days guys,the US supporting Al- Qaeda as it did in Afghanistan when the Russians invaded that country.We all know the outcome of that one. Osama Bin Laden is no longer with us.I wonder when and if they are going to charge McCain, Obama and company for supporting a terrorist organization?
